Survivors include daughter, Teresa Lambert Poore (Lamar) of Harmony, NC; son, Larry Richard “Ricky” Lambert, Jr., of Concord, NC; daughter, Tina Lambert Parris (Todd) of Newton, NC; grandchildren Kelsi Bova (Daniel), Lacey Poore, Hayden Poore, Skylar Poore, Ashley Peterson, Joshua Lambert, Kristen Crane (Jay); great-grandchildren Akele, Nolan, and Knight; many dear nieces and nephews; and their beloved dog, Nike.

Larry was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He had the best sense of humor and a story for everything. He never met a stranger and always made everyone feel loved and welcome. To know him was to love him.

Larry had his first job at age nine setting up pins at the bowling alley; that work ethic stayed with him for life. He always put the needs of others above his own. He loved to mow his lawn and those of his friends and neighbors. He enjoyed conversations (and debates) on politics, playing golf games on the computer, and when his wife, Nancy, would ask him to do something, he would always reply, “Just a minute, I’m on a timer!” Larry loved the Lord and enjoyed sharing his testimony with those around him.

Larry and Nancy were happily married for 58 years, and had the honor of passing into heaven on the same day, Larry having held Nancy’s hand in her last moments.

Hartsell Funeral Home of Concord is serving the Lambert family.
